Barca Set to Increase Bid for Dortmund Striker

Speculation is suggesting that Barcelona have not given up hope of signing Ousmane Dembele, far from it.

Although a recent bid for the 20-year-old forward was rejected by his club, Borussia Dortmund, it is being championed by the news vehicle, AS, Barcelona are set to make an improved offer for the player.

Our referenced source suggests that Barcelona are set to increase their bid to a figure somewhere in the region of €140 million in order to tempt Borussia Dortmund into selling their asset.

Behind the scenes, in Dortmund, all doesn`t appear to be boding well when it comes to Dembele remaining with the club.

Our referenced source is inferring that Dembele has been suspended from training and first team activities due to his future being uncertain.

Although the new fee seems to be enormous, that was always the danger Barca ran when they took the €222 million for Neymar, from PSG, knowing it would send the transfer market crazy.

All we can do is wait and see whether the latest bid tempts Borussia Dortmund into a sale.
